1 oz (28 gram skein) of Hand Spun Merino / Silk 85/15 blend yarn, custom handspun to order in 25 Colour Blends and your choice of 5 yarn weights.

I really LOVE this yarn. It is my personal favorite both to spin and knit with. It feels just heavenly going through your hands while working with it and is such a pleasure to wear. It is buttery soft and excellent for next to the skin projects such as tops, scarves, baby sweaters and baby blankets.

The Gaywool Dyed fiber I use for this yarn is a 85/15 merino/silk blend in a lovely blend of Tussah Silk and multiple colors of 22 micron Merino wool. It is hand spun in 2 ply in your choice of 5 different yarn weights.

The fibers are lightly blended giving a beautiful variegated shade effect. This line is produced by Gaywool in Australia and distributed in North America by Louet North America, However it is no longer available to order. I do have a significant “stash” which should last us all for a bit.

I am spinning this to order and you may order as many skeins as you need for your project (as long as my supplies last, of course).
No more scrambling to find something small to knit just because you bought a one-of-a-kind skein of handspun.
